Overall, I really like Lemmy, and the communities therein. There do seem to be some more radical takes on this platform than I’m used to. I haven’t heard of anyone being swatted or anything like that on here (or even actively doxxed), but there do seem to be more radical takes that what I’m used to on other platforms. I generally don’t engage with those groups. I’m just here for the memes, and to share my knowledge on topics I like. I don’t want to have to worry much about some bored, idealistic shitlord taking offense and going out of their way to nuke me.
As a new motorhead, how carefully do I need to tread, compared to other platforms? I ask, because it seems like posts on here are cast to a much broader network.
I was discussing this in another thread, this is a bit of an overstatement.
While logs may track what you view on some instances, the data on who views what is not public and not accessible to anyone except perhaps some instance admins depending on how they store logs.
Votes are public on Lemmy, and I think long term that’ll be beneficial for the platform and users.
With any online system, assume all interactions are tracked and will be made public in the near future.
It isn’t necessarily true now but it’s really hard for you to verify. Even if it’s true now, it could change without you knowing.
